Vocal Coaching

Proper singing techniques and performance preparation from a professional.

Be trained by one of Australia’s finest vocalists who will work individually with you. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced vocalist, Hayley will coach you to reach the next level.

Discover the joy of singing and learn how to express yourself through music. You will be amazed at what you can achieve with the right support and guidance.

All contemporary styles of music can be learned, depending on preference, including, pop, musical theatre, jazz, blues, country, rock, as well as songs from classic films and Broadway.

All lessons are conducted in a caring and friendly environment so that students feel comfortable and confident, regardless of whether they’re beginners starting from scratch or advanced performers.

Depending on age and level, you will learn:

  • Pitch
  • Rhythm
  • Breathing
  • Phrasing
  • Projection
  • Microphone technique
  • Interpretation
  • Performance technique
  • Preparations of repertoire
  • Preparations for auditions

We will focus on breaking any bad habits that may have formed as well as exploring the performance and expression aspect of singing, and using your whole body to tell the story of the song.

Where desired, Hayley will create opportunities for students to perform live, write original songs, and even record. Students can also enjoy guidance and assistance when preparing for upcoming auditions, competitions and productions, and learn about the entertainment industry.

End of Year Concerts & Performances

All students will be working on pieces of music throughout the year. Of these, we will select 1 – 2 pieces to perform at an end of year concert. (This is optional for Adult students)

This will be at a concert hall or venue in Sydney and will be a great time for parents, grandparents, friends and others to experience the hard work all the students have put in throughout the year.

Students will also be expected to dress appropriately for the end of year performance as they would for a school play or concert and we will discuss styling (depending on age group) once we have chosen the pieces of music to be performed.

Information about the end of year performance will be sent out well in advance.

Note: Students in the Artist Development Coaching Program will have additional opportunities to perform with or open for Hayley throughout the year.

Notifications under 24 hours notice or no shows will result in the loss of the lesson fee altogether and no make-up session will be allowed. All missed coaching sessions will be paid for (including sick days, mid-term holidays or any other reasons) where 24 hours notification is not provided.

If a student is taking an extended holiday there is no guarantee their regular timeslot will be available on their return unless a prior arrangement has been agreed upon.

If a student cancels their scheduled coaching session three weeks in a row their day and time slot will become open for new students and a new day/time will need to be agreed upon.
